Chapter 74 The Great Wall of Despair
A month later, Ye Qi arrived at the Great Wall of Despair in the north.
The Great Wall of Despair stretches for more than 300 kilometers, with the highest point being more than 200 meters. The weather here is cold and the entire Great Wall is covered with ice and snow.
The ancestor of the Wolf family, he not only founded Winterfell, but also cooperated with the wildlings and the children of the forest. He let the giants use stones and ice, the children of the forest use magic, and human soldiers and craftsmen to build the Wall together.
The Wall has stood for thousands of years, resisting the invasion of northern barbarians and the White Walkers.
Ye Qi stood on the Great Wall of Despair, looking at the snowy scenery in the north.
It was a land of ice and snow, similar to the environment of the Great Snow Mountains in Northern Qi.
Under the Great Wall, a group of barbarians are climbing the Great Wall.
The barbarians have always lived in the north of the Great Wall. They were blocked by the Great Wall and could not come to the south.
Therefore, the long-cherished wish of the barbarians is to break through the Great Wall and go to a warm land.
The White Walkers have not yet attacked the city, the barbarians have taken the lead.
Of course, it was impossible for these barbarians to attack. Even if they had tools to climb the ice peaks, they could not withstand the attacks of the soldiers on the city walls.
After one round of attack, the barbarians still failed to reach the Great Wall and retreated to their base camp.

Kings from various countries also came to the Wall. Ye Qi made a decision to accept these snow-covered barbarians and let them settle down in the area of the Wall and Winterfell.
Everyone was talking about this decision. The Snow Region Barbarians numbered tens of thousands of people and posed a great threat to any city.
Mainly Winterfell, Catelyn looked hesitant, but Robb agreed immediately: "I agree!"
Robert, the person closest to the barbarians, agreed, so it was difficult for others to say anything.
So Ye Qi rode his horse to the barbarian territory.
The barbarian leader Tormund attached great importance to Ye Qi's arrival, especially when he learned that Ye Qi was the king of the seven kingdoms.
When Ye Qi suggested that they move to the other side of the Great Wall, they could hardly believe it.
“This is a conspiracy!”
"Lord Tormund, do not believe what they say."
A group of barbarian tribal leaders did not quite believe what Ye Qi said.
Ye Qi said: "In a few days, the White Walkers will arrive here. By then, not only will your people be destroyed, but even the Wall may fall. So I hope to seek cooperation with you. Join us in resisting the White Walker army, and as a reward, you can live on the other side of the Wall."
The barbarian leader Tormund thought about it and seemed a little hesitant.
They wanted to go to the other side of the Great Wall, but there were tens of thousands of barbarians, and they were reluctant to leave for a while.
At this moment, there was a commotion behind the barbarians.
“What happened?” Tormund asked.
A barbarian warrior said in panic: "Oh no, leader, a group of monsters have appeared!"
Everyone looked back and saw a large number of White Walkers appearing on the hilltop, massacring the barbarians.
Seeing the group of terrifying White Walkers, Tormund no longer hesitated: "All people, go to the Wall!"
With the promise of their leader, a large number of barbarians began to march towards the Great Wall.
The White Walkers in the back are still fighting with the barbarians, but the barbarians are retreating step by step.
"Close the door!" said Tormund.
A group of warriors closed the gate down the mountain. Even though there were still tribesmen behind the door, they closed the door firmly.
The door was closed tightly, and then people's screams were heard from behind the door.
The screaming continued for nearly ten minutes.
Then the sound stopped.
Leader Tormund wanted to see what was going on behind the door through the crack.
Suddenly, a white walker's arm broke through the wooden door and stretched out, grabbing Tormund's clothes. Seeing this, Ye Qi cut off the white walker's arm with a sword, and Tormund was able to escape.
"Thank you." Tormund looked at Ye Qi gratefully.
"What are you still standing there for? Most of the tribesmen have retreated. You should retreat too. I will cover you."
Tormund found it a little unbelievable when he heard Ye Qi say that he wanted to cover the retreat.
“I’ll stay too,” Tormund said.
Ye Qi shrugged to show that he didn't care.
He stayed mainly to see how strong the White Walkers were.
Soon, the gate was breached by the army of White Walkers.
Tormund rushed forward and was knocked to the ground by a strong White Walker.
Ye Qi took out Pandora of Disaster, transformed it into a rocket launcher, and launched continuous attacks on the army of White Walkers.
Explosions sounded one after another, and the Ghost Gate was blown into pieces by Ye Qi's rockets before they could rush out of the gate.
Ye Qi stood there, blocking the way for ten thousand men. In the end, he fired until his rocket launcher was smoking, and finally he resisted this wave of White Walker army.
The remains of the White Walkers in front of them were several meters high, with corpses and broken arms everywhere.
Tormund and the barbarian generals were stunned.
They actually had such a powerful weapon. Fortunately, they didn't use it when the barbarians attacked the city.
Ye Qi felt a little regretful that he did not see the Night King.
This should be just a tentative attack by the Night King, and he will launch a real army of White Walkers later. By then, Ye Qi should release his grown-up black dragon.
"Let's go back to the Great Wall!"
Ye Qi led everyone back to the Great Wall.
The tunnels under the Great Wall were opened, allowing the barbarians to enter.
The soldiers of the seven nations were on high alert, looking at these barbarians with strange eyes.
According to Ye Qi's instructions, Rob took them to the designated residence, which would be where they would live from then on.
Then he waited quietly for news from the White Walker army.
While waiting for the army of white walkers, Ye Qi also received news from the Dragon Queen.
The Mother of Dragons has occupied Meereen in the Slave's Bay and is stockpiling troops in Meereen. When the time is right, the Mother of Dragons will send troops to the continent of Veniste to take back the Iron Throne that belongs to her.
I haven't seen the Mother of Dragons for a long time. I miss her a little. I also want to see how much her three dragons have grown.

Two days later, the spy came to report.
It is said that a large army of White Walkers was discovered dozens of kilometers away.
Ye Qi immediately gave orders, asking all soldiers to go to the Great Wall of Despair and be on full alert.
At this time, both the city walls and the tunnels below were filled with soldiers.
It is Ye Qi's mission to guard the Wall, and Ye Qi will never let the army of the White Walkers break through the Wall.
They had been waiting for the arrival of the White Walkers since early morning, but the White Walker army slowed down their advance, and their figures were only vaguely seen in the evening.
It should be that the night increases the combat effectiveness of this group of White Walkers, so they chose to arrive in the evening.
At the forefront of the White Walker army was a tall White Walker riding a skeleton warhorse, his eyes flashing blue light, and the blue flames looked very strange in the night.
Finally meeting the Night King, the sword in Ye Qi's hand was already thirsty.
